Editorial Reviews

From the Author

After thirty years of taking photographs of street art / graffiti, compiling a collection of several thousand works of this type of art, I decided to produce this book, and to make it totally different than any other book on street art / graffitti done before. That is why it features interesting representatiional images, beautiful murals, rather than "tags", and may not appeal to hard core graffiti fans. However, it contains the most beautiful, most interesting wall images ever published. -- Bob Edelson

5.0 out of 5 stars Graffiti at the level of ART, May 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: New American Street Art (Paperback)

If you have any interest in Graffiti and/or Art, you owe yourself a look at how far this Art form has progressed, and who better then Bob Edelson to turn you on to some of the most incredible examples of whats possible in the realm of Street Art. Bob, whose photos and previous books are represented at the Guggenheim, Bass and other prestigious Museums and galleries, has surpassed himself again. He has truly captured the essence of this new Art Form. I have followed Bob's work since he became the only photographer to ever win the "Award of Merit" at the Ft.Lauderdale Museum of Arts annual Hortt Competition. and the picture that captured the award is included in this book If so inclined, any page of this edition could be individualy framed. I might just buy another copy and do that. The colors are so vibrant, the variety of pictures so spectacular, this book is beyond graffiti.
